Spousal Maintenance Modifications
When negotiating divorce settlements, spousal support is often calculated for the lower-earning party to ease the transition from dual to single-income households. These agreements can be intended for the long term, but there are several situations in which it makes sense to modify spousal support to fit a changing lifestyle.
These changes include:
- Death of one of the parties involved in the transaction.
- The person receiving spousal support moves in with a significant other.
- The person receiving spousal support has a higher income rate than when the agreement was made.
- The person receiving spousal support marries or enters a civil union.
Any of these changes can be grounds for a change in or termination of spousal support before the date determined in the agreement. The terms of these changes depend on numerous factors, and making any changes is still a legal issue. As such, the proper legal professionals should oversee them. Without legal representation, you risk further damages and fines for violating the contract without adequate changes to the document.
At Johnson Law Group, we can help you modify spousal support agreements in Colorado so that any changes you make are legally sound and in your best interest.

Modification of Custody & Parenting Time
Modifying custody or visitation arrangements is sensitive, as courts prioritize the child's best interests more than anything else. A "substantial change in circumstances" must be demonstrated to warrant a modification. These changes can include but are not limited to a change in the child's needs, a parent's relocation, or concerns about the child's safety or well-being.
When considering a modification, courts evaluate several factors. Depending on age and maturity, the child's wishes are often considered. Each parent's ability to provide a stable and nurturing environment is assessed. The relationship between the child and each parent and siblings is also a key factor. Evidence of domestic violence, substance abuse, or neglect will heavily influence the court's decision. Ultimately, the court aims to create a custody and visitation arrangement that serves the child's best interests, promoting their healthy development and well-being. We at Johnson Law Group can help you navigate these factors and present a compelling case for modification.

Working with her was such a wonderful experience, kept our goals at the top of every conversation, knew all points and avenues that we could take, never lead us in the wrong direction. I would recommend this firm to anyone who is going through a family law issue.- Liz

Before working with Johnson Law. I had a previous attorney who completely screwed us over. He definitely only took us on for the money. He had no communication, mixed us up with different clients and so much more. So my husband and I were very scared working with a different attorney and getting screwed over again but we took the chance with Johnson law. We are currently working with Shana Velez, Kristina Contreras, and Julie Hernandez. After expressing my concerns because of the previous attorney they have kept amazing communication with me. They know who they are speaking to every time, they know my case, and they definitely don’t try to just take my money. They do their best to save me money as much as they can! These ladies have done such an amazing job with my case so far! 10/10 highly recommend! I will be back with another review once we are done working with them :)- Sierra S.

I hired Johnson law group for an adoption matter. I worked with Daniel Sol as my attorney and his assistant Katie Wilson. They were with me every step of the way. Daniel listened to all of my concerns and helped to address all issues. Without their assistance and guidance, I would have had a much harder time making it through my case! I highly recommend Daniel sol, Katie Wilson and Johnson law group
Why a Colorado Family Attorney Is Important for Modifications
Though there are alternative routes to modify your spousal support or parenting time agreements, remember that these routes may be more emotionally and financially costly in the long haul. Even if all parties seem to agree, any agreements made outside a court of law cannot be legally enforced. If one party decides the new deal is not working, they have no legal responsibility to follow it. To avoid messy future legal battles, it is always best to go through the court system with an experienced Colorado family lawyer by your side.
To schedule a consultation with a Denver modification attorney, contact Johnson Law Group online or call (720) 712-3303. We pride ourselves on our extensive family law knowledge and ability to navigate these sensitive changes carefully.
